The École polytechnique.

French higher education system is divided into two parallel paths.
The first path is the university, very similar to other countries.
The other parth is specific to France : students first spend two or three years in
"classes préparatoires" preparing for national competitive entrance exams of the "Grandes Écoles".

The École Polytechnique is a top-ranking Grande École specialized
in science and engineering ; its entrance exam is one of the most
selective in the country. Its talented young students can obtain a Master
of Science degree that can lead to a PhD,
or do some research in one of the school's many laboratories.
